Treehopper. Note, it is not THE treehopper but one of 91 known species in Maryland and thousands world wide. Which one is a great question, have a side and a top shot coming so maybe we can work that out. In the mean time realize that these crazy architectural beings are common and you kill or brush them aside in your yard all the time (if you haven't sprayed it down for mosquitoes that is). This one found on the research lands of USDA now identified as a possible private rail yard for the MAGLEV. this minibeast treehopper was captured by entomologist in training Danie Phan and photographed by biology college boy Anders Croft. maybe this landscape will be there for them when they get to be my age. Or, ... not.
